Residents have an opportunity to put their hearts and soles in motion during the Midland Area CROP Hunger Walk on Sunday.

The CROP Walk will start at 2 p.m. at the Midland Center for the Arts.

Whether it’s responding to flood and tornado damage in parts of the United States, or rebuilding earthquake-damaged homes in Haiti, CROP Hunger Walks provide funding to help people in need.

This year’s goal is to raise $50,000 in Midland County.

CROP Hunger Walk funds benefit the overall work and ministry of Church World Service, which is working around the world to help those in need help themselves through refugee assistance, self-help development programs, advocacy and disaster relief. Twenty-five percent of what is raised will benefit The Emergency Food Pantry Network, Midland’s Open Door, Project Fresh and The Salvation Army in their work in Midland County.
